I'm excited.

Hyun Bin's version of That Man, one of the theme songs for Secret Garden, which aired its final episode just an hour ago.

There's a female version called That Woman, a a male version sung by a female singer, so I was pleasantly surprised that they released the man version sang by Hyun Bin. It would have been great if the lyrics to the male version didn't just change the words 'woman' to 'man', but instead reflected the love from the man's POV. Oh well.

Hyun Bin is one of the few Korean actors I have a long running love for, and it helps that he's been putting out works that throws his charm back before my eyes. Others are like Park Yong Ha (who I feel shares similar features as Hyun Bin) and....................Er, ok. Not much. Jang Geun Suk is another love, but the passion is still at the budding stage. =P

Other than his good looks, his ability to handle both serious and comical roles, Hyun Bin can actually sing. Not out-of-the-world, but still listenable for an OST. I will miss him for the two years he leaves for army service (starting Mar)!!!

Please watch this mesh-up of scenes from the drama, the so-called official MV for Hyun Bin's version.

그 남자 by 현빈
That Man by Hyun Bin

 

한 남자가 그대를 사랑합니다
그 남자는 열심히 사랑합니다
매일 그림자처럼 그대를 따라다니며
그 남자는 웃으며 울고 있어요
There's a man who loves you
That man loves with all his might
Following you around like a shadow every day
With a smile, that man is crying

얼마나 얼마나 더 너를
이렇게 바라만 보며 혼자
이 바람 같은 사랑 이 거지 같은 사랑
계속해야 니가 나를 사랑 하겠니
How much more, just how much more
Must I look at you like this, alone
And continue this meaningless love, this miserable love
For you to love me?

조금만 가까이 와 조금만
한 발 다가가면 두 발 도망가는
널 사랑하는 난 지금도 옆에 있어
그 남잔 웁니다
Come close just a little, just a little
You, who will back off two steps if I took a step closer
Loving you (like that), I'm still by your side even now
That man is crying

그 남자는 성격이 소심합니다
그래서 웃는 법을 배웠답니다
친한 친구에게도 못 하는 얘기가 많은
그 남자의 마음은 상처 투성이
That man is timid by nature
That's why he learnt how to smile
There're many things he can't even tell his close friends
That man's heart is covered with wounds

그래서 그 남자는 그댈
널 사랑 했데요 똑같아서
또 하나 같은 바보 또 하나 같은 바보
한 번 나를 안아주고 가면 안 되요
That's why that man said
He loved you, because you were the same
Another fool, another fool
Can't you hug me once before you go

난 사랑 받고 싶어 그대여
매일 속으로만 가슴 속으로만
소리를 지르며
그 남자는 오늘도 그 옆에 있데요
That man wants to be loved
Calling out everyday
In his heart, deep in his heart
That man is by your side today too

그 남자가 나라는 걸 아나요
알면서도 이러는 건 아니죠
모를꺼야 그댄 바보니까
Do you know that man is me
 Can't be that you're doing this even though you know, right
You don't know, because you're a fool

얼마나 얼마나 더 너를
이렇게 바라만 보며 혼자
이 바보 같은 사랑 이 거지 같은 사랑
계속해야 니가 나를 사랑 하겠니
How much more, just how much more
Must I look at you like this, alone
And continue this meaningless love, this miserable love
For you to love me?

조금만 가까이 와 조금만
한 발 다가가면 두 발 도망가는
널 사랑하는 난 지금도 옆에 있어
그 남잔 웁니다
Come close just a little, just a little
You, who will back off two steps if I took a step closer
Loving you (like that), I'm still by your side even now
That man is crying


And to end off, watch this.
Summary: Gil Ra-Im (the female lead), a stuntwoman, got into an accident during filming. She slipped into unconciousness. A grieving Kim Jiwon (the male lead, Hyun Bin), searched up the nearest location that was having a storm approaching. Why? Because they had previously gotten into a magic mess whereby their souls swop whenever they get into a storm. Yes. So, having found out the location, he proceeded with his final goodbyes: to his mom, his cousin, and finally a letter to his Ra-Im.

GAHH why can't I find something better than this video? The whole ep was sooo moving that I found my heart breaking together with Jiwon's.
